Kids Jiu Jitsu Classes In
Brighton, CO
Our Kids BJJ classes for children 7+ in age build confidence, discipline, and real self-defense skills in a fun, structured environment.
Lionheart’s expert coaching and Academy Safe accreditation ensures a safe, high-quality training experience that prepares kids for both life and competition.
Almost all of Lionheart’s instructors are also parents, and most of our children also attend the academy.
Read on to learn all about our classes, schedule, instructors, and safety precautions.
What is Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that teaches kids how to protect themselves using leverage, technique, and control instead of punches or kicks. It’s like wrestling with purpose — your child will learn how to stay calm, stay safe, and take control if someone tries to hurt or bully them.
At Lionheart, we teach kids how to stay on their feet, escape from danger, and defend themselves if they end up on the ground — all in a fun, structured, and supportive environment.
Children's Schedule
We currently hold children’s classes 5 days a week for children 7+ in age. Students are, at this time, allowed to attend all classes for the monthly membership price.
“All Levels“ classes are designed for all children to attend. Instructors play close attention to pairing the children during the class to ensure similar skill levels and sizes are placed with each other.
The “Masters“ classes are designed for kids who are very interested in the art of jiu jitsu, and are able to pay attention for an entire class without games or other activities. Parents who also train are welcome to join these classes!

Kids Instructors
The two main instructors for our children’s program are Coach Angela, and Coach Lex. They’re also assisted by the rest of the coaching staff as necessary.
Coach Angela is in charge of the program overall, with curriculum design being approved by our Head Instructor, Professor Brett.
Coach Angela has practiced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over a decade, and has a passion for teaching both the women’s classes and the kids.
She lives just outside of Brighton on her ranch with her husband, three children (two of whom attend Lionheart), and numerous horses.
Discipline, Resilience, and Responsibility
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches kids discipline, resilience, and responsibility by challenging them to push past obstacles and stay committed to their growth.
Through structured training, they learn to follow instructions, stay focused, and respect their coaches and teammates.
Every class reinforces the value of perseverance—whether mastering a new technique or overcoming setbacks in training.
As they progress, children take ownership of their learning, understanding that effort and consistency lead to success.
These lessons extend beyond the mats, helping them develop confidence, accountability, and a strong work ethic in everyday life.

How are we able to offer our training at such a low price compared to other academies?
While it’s frequently true in life that you get what you pay for, at a certain point it becomes exploitive. The fact of the matter is that a properly ran business doesn’t need to charge $200+ a month for martial arts.
We were founded with a clear mission to bring training to as many people as we possibly can, and have been built from the ground up with a business model to support that.
So that’s what we’re going to do – bring the highest quality we possibly can at a price point that as many people as possible can afford.
